Problem Set V-Point-to-point-link

1. Make a graphical comparison and a spreadsheet calculation of the maximum attenuation


-limited transmission distance of the following two systems operating at 100 Mb/s:
System one operating at 850 nm

(a) GaAlAs laser diode: fiber coupled power 0 dBm

(b) Silicon avalanche photodiode: -50 dBm sensitivity

(c) Graded index fiber: 3.5 dB/km attenuation at 850 nm

(d) 1 dB/connector connector loss

System two operating at 1300 nm

(a) InGaAsP LED: fiber coupled power -13 dBm

(b) InGaAs PIN photodiode: -38 dBm sensitivity

(c) Graded index fiber: 1.5 dB/km attenuation at 1300 nm

(d) 1 dB/connector connector loss


Allow 6 dB system margin in each case

2. An engineer has the following components available:

(a) GaAlAs laser diode, operating at 850 nm, fiber coupled power 0 dBm

(b) Ten sections of cable each of which is 500 m long, has 4 dB/km attenuation, has
connectors at both ends.

(c) 2 dB/connector connector loss.

(d) A PIN photodiode receiver, -45 dBm sensitivity.

(e) An avalanche photodiode receiver, -56 dBm sensitivity.


The engineer wishes to construct a 5-km link operating at 20 Mb/s. Which receiver
should be used if a 6-dB operating margin is required.

3. A 90-Mb/s NRZ data transmission system that sends two DS3 channels uses a GaAlAs
laser diode with 1 nm spectral width. The rise time of the laser transmitter is 2 ns. The

1
transmission distance is 7 km over a graded index fiber that has 800 MHz-km bandwidth
distance product, assume DGV D = 0.07 ns/nm-Km.

(a) If the receiver bandwidth is 90 MHz and q = 0.7, what is the system rise time? Does
this meet the required bit rate being less than 70% of a pulse width?

(b) If there is no mode mixing (q = 1) , what is the system rise time?

4. Plot the transmission distance versus the data rate of the following system. The transmitter
is GaAlAs laser diode operating at 850 nm with 1 nm line width, coupling 1 mW into the
fiber. The fiber has 3.5 dB/km attenuation at 850 nm and 800 MHz-km bandwidth. The
receiver sensitivity can be approximated by the equation PR =9LogB - 68.5 where, B is
the data rate in Mb/s. For B = 1000 Mb/s, plot the attenuation limited transmission
distance, the modal dispersion limits with q = 0.5 and q = 1 and the material dispersion
limit. Consider 1 dB connector loss at each end and 6-dB system margin.

5. An engineer has to design a point to point link using multi mode fibers with bandwidth 800
MHz-Km and DGV D = 0.07 ns/nm-Km. The transmitter is an InGaAsP LED operating
at 1300 nm. The fiber coupled power from this source is -13 dBm. The source spectral
width is 40 nm. Fiber attenuation is 1.5dB/Km at 1300 nm. The receiver is InGaAs
PIN photodiode with sensitively PR = 11.5LogB - 60.5 where, B is the data rate in Mb/s.
Consider 1 dB connector loss at each end and 6-dB system margin. Complete the following
table
